Jamf Daemon on Mac, How to uninstall it

Here is what I did to remove/uninstall Jamf Daemon from the Mac. My Macbook pro starts to overheat after only five minutes of any work, so I did a little digging. Naturally, I Google-searched for a solution.

First I tried to establish what is taking my Mac CPU usage and I find-out in Activity Monitor that the Jamf Daemon was responsible for the high CPU usage, and unfortunately I could not kill this process. To find Activity Monitor on a Mac, go to your Applications folder > Utilities folder, and then double-click the Activity Monitor icon.

After more digging, I found you can uninstall/remove Jamf Daemon using Mac’s Terminal application. To find Terminal application on a Mac, go to your Applications folder > Utilities folder, and then double-click the Terminal icon.

How to remove Jamf Daemon on Mac

To remove all Jamf-related components run the following command on the Terminal application: Be sure to backup your computer with Time Machine before these steps below:

First, Change to “bin” directory/folder on your Terminal by typing

CD /usr/local/bin/

Once you are in the “bin” directory. Then type in:

sudo jamf removeFramework

Enter

Or change to this “sbin” directory/folder, if the first didn’t work, and do the same as above

First, Change to “sbin” directory/folder on your Terminal by typing

CD /usr/sbin/

Once you are in the “bin” directory. Then type in:

sudo jamf removeFramework

Enter

Double check in Activity Monitor to see if you were able to remove Jamf Daemon.

It worked for me!

SQLiteStudio Error on Mac

How to fix this installation error on Mac: “Can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.”

After I tried to open the SQLiteStudio installation file I got this error message: “Can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.”

I google-searched for a solution but whatever I found suggested I need to run recovery mode which is complicated and not that safe. You can easily make your Mac not working again.

But I found a much easier solution, and it is very simple!

This is how you can install SQLiteStudio 3.2.1 on Mac OS Catalina:

  1. Find the installation file called SQLiteStudio

2. On Mac keyboard select Control then Right Click on SQLiteStudio installation file and then select Open.

3. After that a new pop-up window is opened with this message: macOS cannot verify the developer of “SQLiteStudio”. Are you sure you want to open it?. This time is different than the one with an error. It has an Open option. Click on Open and voila, now you are able to install SQLiteStudio.

This is it! Now you can continue with a SQLiteStudio installation.

Good Luck!
